I actually think this might be true. I’m dealing with treatment resistant depression and am on fairly heavy antidepressants. These stop me from feeling much of anything, good or bad. Even orgasms don’t really give me any pleasure at all.
When I orgasm, it is actually very painful. I’ve gone to a urologist and have had scans, etc done, and there’s nothing wrong physically with anything down there. Until I saw your post I never really thought about it in this way, but I can definitely see how a lack of endorphins and oxytocin - or really, any feel good chemicals - floating around, how an intense muscle contraction could be quite painful. It’s like a sharp pain, probably similar to a quick, extreme flex of muscles that at the same time need to relax to pass things through.
I also had that issue on SSRIs. More frequent orgasms helped me. Just make sure you’re achieving them in gentle and sustainable ways with vibration/suction/lubrication instead of vigorous rubbing.
Also don’t take medical advice from strangers on the internet or something lol.
This one makes more sense cause your genitals are by default very sensitive to pain. So your body pumps out a bunch of hormones during arousal so sex doesn’t feel like beating up your bits.
I’ve heard that orgasms are painful, but the endorphins and oxytocin fix that.
I’ve never actually looked into the validity of it, but it sounds like BS.

Hang in there 💕
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! I’m trying my best!
I’m not really sure that’s a great choice of words for someone with depression 🤔

Wait this could make sense, maybe it’s like when you get a cramp?
I now fear i am gonna spend hours to days in a new rabbit hole…
